dooger Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Greetings, Bengals fans.I play in a very deep, very intense fantasy football league (laugh it up if you want, but I'm sure some of you are in the same boat).Chinedum Ndukwe has been doing great for me. Plenty of tackles, plus the TD against the Jets was nice. My question is this - what role will he have on the Bengals going forward? Is Dexter Jackson going to take his job back? Chinedum has earned a starting job for the rest of the season, right? If his role is going to be reduced, I think I will try to sell him while his value is high.I know you guys can get me the info I need. I came straight to the source. Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 As far as I can tell, Dexter is out of the picture at SS. He's now listed as the No. 1 (ahead of Marvin White) at FS. Nduke will continue to see plenty of time. Quote
COB Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Ndukwe has earned that spot. What was he, 7th rounder? He's a good player. Quote
CJBestInAFC Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 So explain to me why Dexter just jumps in front of White on the depth chart at FS? He has lost a step and will be required to do more in coverage at FS. This just seems like a mistake of putting Jackson back on the field. Quote
BengalPimp Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Ndukwe will get his playing time....that you can count on. He's versatile enough to play either safety spot, though more suited to SS. Quote
Pidge Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 It should be Duke at SS and White at FS. Put dear old Dexter "whiffed tackle" Jackson out to pasture. Quote
jonf45uk Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 best player on the defence.plenty of big plays and doesn't miss tackles or get brushed off like so many others!! Quote
Ickey44 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Was White hurt Sunday or what? Why didn't he play? Quote
HoosierCat Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Was White hurt Sunday or what? Why didn't he play?They claim Dexter is better in coverage. Quote

This just seems like a mistake of putting Jackson back on the field.Well Dexter was always a FS the only reason he played SS for us was because we liked to stick FS's at SS....I'm very happy we have Duke though seems be closet thing we've had to a Strong Safety for awhile.

Ickey44 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Was White hurt Sunday or what? Why didn't he play?They claim Dexter is better in coverage.That may be, but isn't our real weakness right now stopping the run? In which White is WAY better at than Jackson? Does Marvin see everything with a different set of eyes than most of us? Quote
Pidge Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 I dunno, Dexter seems painfully average at this point. In or out of coverage. Might not be his fault alone but eh. Go with White, he can't do that much worse all round than Dexter and he'll gain experience and hopefully improve any weakenesses he has faster as a result.But yeah, I'm just a schlub. It would be foolish to sit the ageing vet in a year we're trying to win the Superbowl after all. Quote
Kazkal Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 0-7 playoffs = no chanceStart freaking white get him much needed play time Quote
